SARANAc INN, N. Y, June 2.--The ami
versary of the wedding day of the Presi-
dent and Mrs Cleveland dawned beautifully
at Saranac Inn At sunrise there was not
breath of air stirring and the surface of the
lake clearly reflected every tree, hill, noun
tain range and cloud. But at 0 o'clock,
when the cottage party came over TO the
hotel to breakfast, a breeze had sprung up
from the west and the white caps were run
ming in the bay just off of Prospect Point.
When Mrs. Cleveland sat down to break
fast she found q little cluster Of four-leaved
clovers at her place. She and the President
were heartily congratulated upon the ami
versary and were wished all manner of hap
piness and good luck. At 10 o'clock, after
smearing their faces literally with fy
ointment, the President, Mrs Cleveland
and Dave Cronk went off in one boat; Col.
and Mrs Lamont and McCaffrey in another,
and Dr. and Mrs Rosman in third, TO
spend the day at Hollis pond, about three
miles distant They took lunches and
unless the flies and mosquitoes prove too
annoying, will remain all day When they
return the cottage of the President will
probably be decorated in a simple manner
to recall to its occupants memory the cere-
mony that took place in the Blue room of
the White House just one year ago.
AN ENJOYABLE DAY.
Mrs. Cleveland soon caught the first fish.
She also caught the second, landing il after
a long struggle. The lunch was eaten in
picnic fashion, and after the meal there was
more fishing, A heavy shower came up at
4 o'clock, which put an end TO the sport
after Mrs Cleveland had taken five Ash
The Presidents luck was transferred
to his wife, for he caught
nothing. Mrs. Clevelands first fs,
was a seven-pounder. Mrs Lamont.
Col. Lamont and Mrs Rosrnan were also
lucky in making catches They reached
Saranac inn at5:30, during the lull in the
storm, somewhat damp, but as jolly as II
there had been no shower They found the
cottage prettily decorated with punches of
lilacs, birch leaves, wild cherry blossoms
and ferns, arranged in masses and clusters
over the mantel and about the pictures
and mirrors. Across the face of the
mantle under the shelf, were
the figures in pansies '"S6n-"S7,"
mound of wild flowers on the centre table
and the vases filled with wild violets and
other wood flowers standing upon the writ
ing desk, were simple reminders furnished
by the lady friends of Mrs. Cleveland of her
wedding-day anniversary. The party were
fatigued after their days excursion and re-
tired early.
